LIVINGSTON | NCAA Division II and CBS Sports Network have announced their regular-season television schedule for the 2013 football season, and defending Gulf South Conference champion West Alabama will play Florida Tech in a nationally televised game Sept. 19.

The game at Pirate Stadium in Melbourne will kick off at 7 p.m. and will be the first Gulf South game for Florida Tech.

“The positive momentum just keeps going,” UWA coach Will Hall said. “This is another thing that hasn’t happened at UWA in a long time. It’s great to have a chance to play on national television and to play in the state Florida.

“We know it will be a challenge to play an up-and-coming program,” Hall said, “but it is a tremendous opportunity to showcase how far we’ve come as a program and to show people all around the county the good things that are happening at UWA.”

The six-game Thursday night slate opens Sept. 5 and features seven teams from last year’s championship field, including two national semifinalists.
